So I saw on TV that there are vampires in the Deep South. Is this true?
I think that most Europeans don't spare much thought for America as a country (unless you pay attention to the ridiculous level of coverage that BBC puts out. Sarah Palin's daughter splitting up with her fiance: front page news? Apparently.) but US foreign policy is often perceived as sledgehammer and arrogant, which is a little strange because all the Americans I've met have been fairly nice and down to earth people.
Interestingly the most off-putting people I've met all seem to come from Brazil, despite their touchy-feely foreign policy.

5) The United States of America - joined the war in 1917 and didn't really contribute much, save for the indirect threat of an unwinnable war for Imperial Germany.
The United States of America - was late to WWII, and what about the Russian contribution (They got to Berlin first, right?)?.
The United States of America - got Europe into WWIII.
Corrected.

That we toppled both the German AND Japanese militaries, right? We were attacked by Japan, so we retaliated while Europeans were still sitting around eating olives and complaining that someone should do something about the Germans.
You see, I wasn't being serious. But you undermined the validity of your argument with the above statements. We're more or less on the same page, Astenion. I just dislike the word "save" when discussing history. It's a bit too Lord of the Ringsy

I think some posts in this thread shows why alot of **** taking goes on between the continents such as[.....]the americans who think that the US foriegn policy over the last decades is purely cause 'they just wanna help out these small countries with their problems to bring freedom across the world and the rest of the world would turn to **** if they didnt step in' is simply just silly
Bull****! America's foreign policy is all to do with testicular fortitude and righteousness and absolutely nothing to do with the maintenance of the international power balance or neocolonialism. Bloody ungrateful Brits, who's paying for your queen?
